some history
Our first neighbours were Byzantines so everyone on Balkan used byzantine armors style for infrantery,but noble ppl had armors from Germany and Italy.
On our flag today we have 4 c letters,like byzantium clan uses in game. 4c symbolise this Only united Serbs will survive or translated on my language Samo Sloga Srbina Spasava
